Pah. After a lifetime of managing some of the greatest fuckwits known to construction or the nhs this is a doddle 😆 The real fun will start when we get back from the rideout and find we've got less than we set off with😖 Or more 😳
moderate speeds on ride out pleaseeee. how was the sunday roast captain steve. not to many ales young sir. i hope, not to give us bikers a bad name lol. needto make it longer weekend wanna go to gorthland too lol
I'll not be heading down to Goathland Danny, not at a bank holiday weekend. The whole of that area will be full of cars, campers, cyclists and the inevitable "listen to how fast my bike is" brigade. The plan is Country Durham, Northumberland and the Borders. Hopefully I'll not lose too many of you, although I realise someone might have their head turned by a gorgeous ewe or strapping young tup and decide to scamper off for a night of passion - these things happen. Anyway my Yorkshire green card has expired so I'm not supposed to go there 🙃
With 20 odd bikes the ride will inevitability be at the moderate pace, I'll possibly even take Scootie to ensure I'm not tempted with hooliganism.
A little bit of sick came up at the throught of Danny's budgie-smugglers.
On a slightly more salubrious note the Teesdale now has the food order (thanks everyone) and we have the back room of the pub to ourselves, although locals might join us if the front bars full. Food at 8pm, drinking from whenever you like, early morning jog onto the moors at 5:30am.
The ride out will be whenever I get my act together, most likely about 10:30 after you've had your breakfasts. Meet outside the Teesdale. Gas up your bikes before we set off because we're off into the sticks where there arent a lot of petrol stations - so none of this I've got 50 miles left stuff. If you run out due to buffoonery you will be stripped naked, smeared in sheep nuts and left in the nearest field to be nibbled upon by erotic ruminants.
forget the ride out if theres sheep nuts and erotic reminants im on my way right now lol 😁 , but thats awesome , cant wait to jump on the bike and get back out there , its been a long arse winter and this for me will be the 1st ride/start of the season so im extra special excited to hit the road , looks like its going to be lovely and warm too, il get a itinerary from you on friday night steve while we have the beer on the go , you know what im like at least if i know where everyone is going then im one less person to worry about
Weather permitting I plan to do the Keilder loop on Saturday. It's about 150 miles on quieter roads, although it is a bank holiday so there will be some traffic. There aren't a lot of junctions so if / when we get spread out we won't lose people and psychopathic overtakes won't be required. If the worst happens everyone will have my number, although that doesn't mean they will have a signal, and I'll list some cafe stops later so we can re-gather there. That also means that those that want to travel at a more enthusiastic pace and free to bugger off and do so.
